Hello everybody,
I apologise in advance for sending now a message similar to the one I sent yesterday on the mailing list in GeoTools, with the same subject.
My name is Ugo, I have recently started to work for GeoSolutions. Since JAITools is not being actively supported anymore, we decided to start to move the parts of JAITools used by JAI-EXT, GeoTools and GeoServer into JAI-EXT, that is better supported. We have the blessing of Michael Bedward of JAITools who was happy about JAITools bits being reused.
The process of moving JAITools into JAI-EXT was started by making the existing code of JAI-EXT independent on JAITools (see JAI-EXT release 1.0.13, in which some support classes, ROIGeometry and ImageLayout2 were moved into JAI-EXT). The whole process of moving JAITools into JAI-EXT will take some time: other functions should be moved and checked the possible overlap between operations that exist in both libraries. This is currently under study.
As mentioned above, JAI-EXT 1.0.13 is a first step in the direction of avoiding any dependency from JAITools. Therefore, GeoServer pom and few classes will be updated to reflect changes in JAI-EXT 1.0.13 (basically ImageLayout2 class, so far).
We thought it was better to inform the community about this idea, also to explain the existence of some pull requests that might look strange, without knowing that this process JAITools → JAI-EXT is ongoing.
Feel free to comment or give your input.
